Apologies everyone - problems with my Picassa account it seems. I've now uploaded them to Flikr... Click on the picture for a larger version.
Agin - the picture doesn't do it justice, but it does have a fun look - and feels so cool sitting in it.
Taking it down was fun - but once I got the hang of it, it was simple. The sides all fold together, then you bend them all at once.
Cheers

That's one of the reasons I wanted it. I think it is a lot more stable in terms of not blowing away. The nature of the bendy-ness means it's more likely to bend in really strong winds than fly off. Even if it did, I can't imagine it doing a lot of damage. It did seem pretty wedded to the floor though - I think it would be much better in many ways, and I imagine, faster to put up.
I reckon it's a great alternative, and I'm sure we'll get used to the sight of bigger pop-up tents!

Well, increased stability is definately a good thing. I look forwards to seeing it in the flesh, so to speak.
Finally figured out what it reminds me of, btw. The Teletubby dome house. Eh-ohhhh!
I have ordered one lat night, can't wait for it to arrive, I hate having to sit in the tent to eat to get away from the bugs. but I can not see the pic.
Excellent. My tip is, once you've folded it back up, to stand it upright to fold it down into circles. One hand on the top, one on the top-side, and then bend. Twelve minutes struggling with it on it's side. One go with it upright.
The poles slot inside, in the corners.
Cheers
